Frequent crashes whilst using X (try 2)
Debian Squeeze/Testing with kernel 2.6.26 and the nv driver.
A few weeks ago after some packages were updated X applications started
crashing and sometimes brought X down as well.
I use Balsa as my mailer and often when I click on a mail folder to open
it Balsa just crashes (disappears). Today I started Qemu and when I
clicked inside the window to capture the mouse pointer X crashed and I was
back at the KDM login.
The only error I can find for the Qemu crash is in Xorg.0.log.old:

Fatal server error:
bogus pointer event from ddx
I've assumed that there may be a bug in one of the upgraded packages but
I've no idea which one. Is anyone else experiencing this?
UPDATE: It does seem to be mouse related. I have also seen this
in .xsession-errors: balsa: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily
unavailable) on X server :0.0.
I would be nice to know if other people *aren't* getting this as it would
then mean the problem must be on my system. That would at least be a clue
although I cannot imagine why it started suddenly.
Anyone?
